Instron's new Precision Series Manual Wedge Grips provide accurate, repeatable, reliable gripping for alignment-sensitive tensile testing applications, such as those governed by Nadcap maximum bending requirements. Capacities are 100 kN (22,000 lbf) and 250 kN (56,000 lbf) , and these grips can also be used for testing in compression with the proper adapters, and in temperatures ranging from -80 ⁰C (-112 ⁰F) to +250 ⁰C (+482⁰ F).
